 Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship |
| |
| |
UPMC Shadyside has a long tradition of superior education for primary care physicians, and that tradition now includes a one-year fellowship in primary care sports medicine. The Fellows’ own Sports Medicine and primary care practice is located in our Family Health Center, which permits almost daily interaction between Fellows and Residents.
Fellows in primary care sports medicine gain extensive clinical, academic, and “on-field” experience. This community-based Fellowship offers not only superior musculoskeletal training, but also a solid foundation in sports psychology, sports nutrition, musculoskeletal imaging, exercise physiology, academic development, and research design in preparation for the certificate of added qualification. A unique additional asset of this program is its connection to the world-class local centers of basic-science research in sports medicine.
As the team physician, the Fellow acquires on-field experience and training room coverage at a large high school and a Division I college and during coverage of major events such as road races and bicycle events. The athletic population includes participants in all manner of activities from recreational to professional, from preadolescent to geriatric. Community, medical student/resident, and peer lectures and presentations are integrated throughout the Fellowship year. Each Fellow is expected to produce research of significant value to the field. Although the Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship is administered through the Family Practice Residency Program, it is available to graduates of residencies in family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, and emergency medicine.

| Faculty Development Fellowship |
| |
| |
The Faculty Development Fellowship offers full-time fellowship training in two tracks: Master Educator and Clinical Researcher. Our Faculty Development Fellowship is recognized as one of the leading programs in the country. Fellowship graduates serve as full-time and part-time faculty in departments and residency training programs across the country, enjoy accelerated advancement, and are prepared to provide leadership in faculty development in their chosen organizational settings.
Since becoming part of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in 2003, Fellows have access to faculty, on-going projects, grant development support, and other resources in the Department and across the University. In addition, Fellows serve as junior faculty at the Department’s three family medicine residency training programs (UPMC McKeesport, UPMC Shadyside, and UPMC St. Margaret). The Master Educator fellowship curriculum has been developed, evaluated, and refined in five domains: clinical practice, teaching and learning, research, administrative and management skills, and medical decision-making.

| Geriatric Fellowship |
| |
| |
The Geriatric Fellowship Program trains physicians across the continuum of care: the home setting, ambulatory care, acute care hospitalization, rehabilitation, and adult day care. Clinical experiences include practice in outpatient geriatric assessment, inpatient consultation, inpatient geropsychiatry, nursing homes, and adult day care centers.
The Fellow becomes comfortable working with other health care professionals as part of an interdisciplinary team in which the focus is on functional status and the quality of life. Both a one-year clinical and a two-year academic track are offered. Fellows who complete either track are eligible to sit for the Qualifying Examination in Geriatric Medicine.
The Geriatric Fellowship is administered through the UPMC Shadyside Internal Medicine Residency Program and is available to graduates of family practice and internal medicine residencies.
